Elaborate complex workflows please. And as if Mac users don't have complex workflows :)


Here's just an example: I often want to see all currently open windows on my task bar, and using my mouse I can instantly open the specific window I want to work on.

Note that I don't want to open a specific app, I want to access a specific instance of that app. Think of an example when I have multiple Chrome windows open, and I want to open a specific one, since that has a group of tabs open. The principle is generic, I might want to open a specific IDE window, as I've got multiple instances open at the same type.

Absolutely every Mac user I've seen had to swipe through all their open app, or has to open the app and from the app then choose which instance they want to work with.


I can't say that I've seen anyone use the Windows functionality you're talking about here either, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

One of the hardest things about being a "power user" is watching other people use their computers in horrible and inefficient ways. There's a few different ways to get to a specific window on a Mac using the mouse. But I would add that using the mouse for this is probably less efficient than alt/command+tabbing anyway.


I don't understand what you mean by complex workflow in relation to this example of opening a specific window.

I think however this is achieved in mac by right clicking on the app icon in the task bar, then it has a list of open windows. In Windows, this is done by mousing over the app icon in the task bar.


In pre-11 Windows you can see all open instances of an app from the taskbar, and with one-click open any one of these. Of course, there's an equivalent for Mac as well, but it's not one-step, it's two step. I know it sounds like something minor, but it really rattled me on a Mac.


Do you have a source for this? My last info was they rented space in an existing data center.


I don't think Swarm Mode failed. We are using it in production for 1000s of Hosts very reliably, it's a great piece of technology! :-)

K8s simply has all the hype and no one got fired for running k8s. I was thinking the same as you, k8s is quite complex, has a lot of options and moving parts which we don't need.


I agree - “failed” may be not the best word. I mean failed only compared to the k8s abundance.

Anyway, impressive scale for Swarm! Are there any crucial features you miss in Swarm?


Off topic but the designer who came up with that logo is a genius! :-)


I know right! We worked with this individual designer from Reddit. If you want their name, shoot me an email/linkedin/etc. and I'll connect you. He was great to work with.


Yes, also when typing fast it somehow removes the first or last character sometimes which is really annoying! Skype doesn't have this issue.


Why not? It's ECC RAM and a server grade motherboard. The only downside is 1 PSU, but you can buy 10x the amount of servers compared to AWS :-)


They're running ECC on consumer level Intel chips?


Just the amds

Plus Xeon’s ofc


No, it's at least 4x cheaper.


Only 62,7% of the trains were in time (and by in time they use a rigged system to count what is in time and what is not). So it's basically a 50% chance if you will be delayed at your destination or in time. Also note, that if you have to change trains mid travel you have that chance again. That means you will be late very very often. If you travel as an individual and you don't value your time at all this is a great deal, if you travel for business purposes good luck to you.

Apart from that, it's a lot more stressful (and time consuming) to go to a train station and leave at a train station instead of just driving by car.


Punctuality of local trains is much higher than the long distance ones whose stats you’re quoting here. For rapid transit, punctuality is less of an issue, compared to frequency.


I am running Dovecot and Postfix in production for decades now. Both are stable and reliable.


How is it more privacy respecting when it's sending stuff to OpenAI servers?
